Liu Neng, Yu Feng and others followed the caravan into the vast grassland, the weather in October, the grass on the grassland has long been withered and yellow, looking from afar, the boundless naked eye is all pale yellow. The caravan traveled north for two days, and then turned east, along the way Yu Feng quietly remembered what he saw along the way, and recorded the walking route on the drawings. Before he left, Chen Yue specially asked Pan Xuezhong for a compass for him, in order to record the correct walking route.

It can be seen that Fan Tianyu has entered the grassland many times to do business, and there are also old people in his caravan who know the road, although he is tired all the way, there is no danger or danger, and the horse bandits that Fan Tianyu said before did not appear.

In the grassland in October, the weather was even colder, and everyone in the caravan was wearing thick sheepskin jackets and felt hats on their heads to protect their ears, even Fan Tianyu, who had always been gentle and elegant. Liu Neng and Yu Feng led their men to escort both sides of the convoy on horseback, and when the convoy stopped to rest in the evening, Yu Feng secretly checked that several trucks were loaded with pig iron. In the steppe, the price of pig iron is comparable to that of silver, and it is the most important strategic material.

On the tenth day, several low mountains suddenly appeared in front of him, one of which was covered with black stones.

"Montenegro has arrived, everyone be vigilant!" Fan Tianyu shouted at the guards as if he was facing a great enemy, and the swordsmen hired by the caravan immediately unsheathed their knives and vigilantly observed the surrounding movements.

"Boss, what's wrong?" These days, Liu Neng has shown his strong communication skills, and he has become one with everyone in the caravan, and he is also very familiar with Fan Tianyu.

"There are often horse bandits in this Black Mountain area, we have to be careful, tell your brothers, cheer up." Fan Tianyu glanced at Liu Neng and ordered.

Liu Neng nodded, rode back to the soldiers of the Xishan Army, glanced at Yu Feng, and whispered the order. All the soldiers of the Xishan Army gathered together tacitly, took out the three-eyed firebolt from the skin bag and filled it, each cavalryman had a three-eyed firebolt, and there was also a pair of crossbows at the waist. In terms of riding skills and cavalry, they were not as good as the Manchurian cavalry, so Chen Yue put a lot of effort into weapons.

The caravan walked for a while, and then saw many black dots appear in the distance, rapidly approaching this way.

"There are horse bandits!" Lao Tie, the head of the Fan family's guards, shouted loudly and ordered the convoy to form a circle, and everyone hid in the middle of the convoy. Looking at the number of horse bandits in the distance, I am afraid that there are nearly 100 cavalry, which is already a large army. Although the caravan also had 100 people, the total number of guards was more than 60 people.

Although Fan Tianyu was the shopkeeper of the caravan, Lao Tie was the actual commander of the battle when encountering the enemy, and under his orders, the guys of the caravan quickly surrounded the carriage and connected it end to end to form a car formation.

As soon as everyone hid in the middle of the car rim, the horse bandits in the distance were already roaring and galloping over, and the first thing that came was a rain of arrows like a dark cloud, and the arrows were inserted into the wheels of the car, inserted into the goods, and some of them were shot into the rim, and several guys who were hit by the arrows were screaming. Experienced swordsmen and guards had long since hid behind wagons or horses, and only these men with no combat experience stood stupidly in the middle of the formation.

Looking at the horse bandits who were getting closer and closer in the distance, Liu Neng and Yu Feng and the cavalry of the Xishan Army carefully hid their bodies, waiting for the horse bandits to approach, they had all experienced the battle of thousands of cavalry attacking Mantatar, and the dozens of horse bandits in this area were nothing.

Unexpectedly, after shooting a round of arrows and giving a dismount, the horse bandits did not continue to attack, but stopped their horses and stood more than twenty paces, and one of the leaders shouted something loudly.

"Looks like you're trying to make us surrender." Lin Fucheng, who was in the guard, had lived in Mantar for several years, had dealt with the Mongols, could understand a little Mongolian, and whispered to everyone.

"We are the Fan family caravan in Shanxi, and the opposite side is a friend of Montenegro, please give my Fan family a little face, make way out, my Fan family will have a good reward." Fan Tianyu stood up and shouted at the other side.

"@#¥%............" The leader of the horse bandits on the opposite side shouted again.

"He seems to want half of our caravan to leave behind before letting us go." Lin Fucheng translated.

"Damn, I want half of it, it's so dark!" Liu Neng opened his mouth and stammered.

"Don't go with them mushrooms, everyone listen to my orders, raise your guns, and fight the war horse first!" Yu Feng saw that the horse bandits were only more than twenty steps away from the convoy, and they were completely within the range of the three-eyed firebolt, so he ordered impatiently.

More than 30 soldiers of the Xishan Army unanimously raised their firearms and aimed at the horse bandits opposite.

"What are you doing?" As soon as the head of the guard, Lao Tie, asked a question, he heard a burst of thunderbolts and ping-pong sounds, and gunpowder smoke filled the air over the convoy.

The fire guns sounded one after another, the three-eyed fire guns, the three guns and boring powder chambers were connected with each other, and the three tubes were fired in a row after ignition, which was very powerful. I heard the screams of the horse bandits on the opposite side, and the sound of the horses falling down came one after another.

Shocked to see the horse bandits on the opposite side fall down continuously, Lao Tie was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Rush over and kill them!" Yu Feng inserted the empty fire gun back into his waist, turned over on the war horse, shouted at Lao Tie, and rushed out of the gap in the carriage with more than thirty of his men.

"Let's get out!" Originally, this kind of thing caravans often encountered, and after negotiation, they only needed to pay some price, and everyone could be safe, but I didn't expect these new guards to be so ignorant of the rules, but since they had already started fighting, they could only fight, Lao Tie was helpless, and rushed out with his swordsmen.

In a round of firearms, more than 20 horse bandits were shot down, and the rest was in chaos, and there were constantly war horses falling around, and others had to instigate war horses to dodge. At this moment, more than thirty horsemen in the caravan rushed out.

"Kill them......" The leader of the bandits yelled angrily at the rushing Mingren, and at that moment, an arrow flew over, and a crossbow bolt was stuck in his throat, blocking his next words in his throat.

Thirty cavalrymen each have a hand crossbow, which can be loaded with three iron feather crossbow arrows, ninety crossbow arrows fired at close range, its power is not trivial, the horse bandits who were already in chaos by the fire guns, after a round of arrow rain, completely chaotic, plus the leader was shot to death, one by one like headless flies to move, some howled and rode their horses to fight, but more people quietly turned their horses' heads and ran back towards the way they came.

When Lao Tie entered the battlefield with more than 30 swordsman guards, all the horse bandits knew that they couldn't escape, and they fled quickly one by one, leaving only dozens of corpses on the ground, and more than a dozen war horses that had lost their owners were neighing.
